GLDRAWTRANSFORMFEEDB(3G)					  [FIXME: manual]					  GLDRAWTRANSFORMFEEDB(3G)

NAME

       glDrawTransformFeedbackInstanced - render multiple instances of primitives using a count derived from a transform feedback object

C SPECIFICATION

       void glDrawTransformFeedbackInstanced(GLenum mode, GLuint id, GLsizei primcount);

PARAMETERS

       mode
	   Specifies what kind of primitives to render. Symbolic constants GL_POINTS, GL_LINE_STRIP, GL_LINE_LOOP, GL_LINES,
	   GL_LINE_STRIP_ADJACENCY, GL_LINES_ADJACENCY, GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, GL_TRIANGLES, GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP_ADJACENCY,
	   GL_TRIANGLES_ADJACENCY, and GL_PATCHES are accepted.

       id
	   Specifies the name of a transform feedback object from which to retrieve a primitive count.

       primcount
	   Specifies the number of instances of the geometry to render.

DESCRIPTION

       glDrawTransformFeedbackInstanced draws multiple copies of a range of primitives of a type specified by mode using a count retrieved from
       the transform feedback stream specified by stream of the transform feedback object specified by id. Calling
       glDrawTransformFeedbackInstanced is equivalent to calling glDrawArraysInstanced() with mode and primcount as specified, first set to zero,
       and count set to the number of vertices captured on vertex stream zero the last time transform feedback was active on the transform
       feedback object named by id.

       Calling () is equivalent to calling glDrawTransformFeedbackStreamInstanced with stream set to zero.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not an accepted value.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if id is not the name of a transform feedback object.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if stream is greater than or equal to the value of GL_MAX_VERTEX_STREAMS.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if a non-zero buffer object name is bound to an enabled array and the buffer object's data store is
       currently mapped.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if a geometry shader is active and mode is incompatible with the input primitive type of the geometry
       shader in the currently installed program object.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if mode is GL_PATCHES and no tessellation control shader is active.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glEndTransformFeedback() has never been called while the transform feedback object named by id was
       bound.

NAME

       glDrawArraysInstanced - draw multiple instances of a range of elements

C SPECIFICATION

       void glDrawArraysInstanced(GLenum mode, GLint first, GLsizei count, GLsizei primcount);

PARAMETERS

       mode
	   Specifies what kind of primitives to render. Symbolic constants GL_POINTS, GL_LINE_STRIP, GL_LINE_LOOP, GL_LINES, GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP,
	   GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, GL_TRIANGLES GL_LINES_ADJACENCY, GL_LINE_STRIP_ADJACENCY, GL_TRIANGLES_ADJACENCY, GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP_ADJACENCY and
	   GL_PATCHES are accepted.

       first
	   Specifies the starting index in the enabled arrays.

       count
	   Specifies the number of indices to be rendered.

       primcount
	   Specifies the number of instances of the specified range of indices to be rendered.

DESCRIPTION

       glDrawArraysInstanced behaves identically to glDrawArrays() except that primcount instances of the range of elements are executed and the
       value of the internal counter instanceID advances for each iteration.  instanceID is an internal 32-bit integer counter that may be read by
       a vertex shader as gl_InstanceID.

       glDrawArraysInstanced has the same effect as:

	       if ( mode or count is invalid )
		   generate appropriate error
	       else {
		   for (int i = 0; i < primcount ; i++) {
		       instanceID = i;
		       glDrawArrays(mode, first, count);
		   }
		   instanceID = 0;
	       }

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not one of the accepted values.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if a geometry shader is active and mode is incompatible with the input primitive type of the geometry
       shader in the currently installed program object.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if count or primcount are negative.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if a non-zero buffer object name is bound to an enabled array and the buffer object's data store is
       currently mapped.
